Kristie Karlof first began to explore yoga and meditation in North Carolina about 10 years ago.   As she followed her life path north to Massachusetts, yoga became an integral part of her life and her spiritual practice.   Kristie's experience and knowledge of yoga and conscious living further deepened through her studies and volunteer work at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA.  As a certified Kripalu Yoga Instructor, Kristie began teaching yoga in the Boston area.  In April 2009, she moved to Boulder Creek, California, where she is now practicing.  

             Kristie is also certified in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy.   The founder of this unique therapy was also a Kripalu Yoga practitioner, so it's a great complement to her yoga instruction. 

              Also dear to Kristie's heart and a significant part of her life is her work with children with autism and their families.  First inspired by the unconditional love and gentleness of a young woman with autism and her single mother in Carrboro, NC, Kristie has learned a great deal about the strength of the human spirit and our ability to connect with one another beyond words.   

         Kristie's other passions in life include hiking, sailing, fiddling, and cooking.
